Berkeley Eye Center- Cleveland

It's one of the first questions we hear from almost every potential LASIK patient: "What happens if I blink or move during the procedure? Can I mess it up?"

Let's put that fear to rest. The short answer is: you can't.

Our advanced LASIK system is designed with multiple layers of safety to account for any involuntary movements. Here's how:

✔️ You physically can't blink because a small device gently holds your eyelids open.
✔️ Numbing drops suppress the urge to blink, so you stay comfortable.
✔️ Our laser's ActiveTrak 3D motion tracking monitors your eye 1,000 times per second.
✔️ If you move too much (or even sneeze!), the laser pauses automatically and resumes exactly where it left off once you're settled.

We've put all the details about our incredible safety technology — from Iris Registration to our bladeless flap creator — into a comprehensive guide on our blog. If you're even a little nervous about LASIK, this is a must-read.

Did you know your annual eye exam is one of the most important preventative health screenings you can have?

May is Healthy Vision Month, and we're highlighting a crucial fact: your eyes are a unique window into your overall health. The blood vessels in your retina are the only ones in the entire body that can be seen directly without an incision, revealing early signs of serious systemic diseases—often before you notice any other symptoms.

In our new guide, our doctors explain 7 surprising health problems an eye exam can detect, including:

✔️ Diabetes
✔️ High Blood Pressure
✔️ High Cholesterol
✔️ Brain Tumors & Neurological Issues

Your vision is precious, and so is your health. Learn more about this powerful diagnostic tool by reading our full blog post.

Not all contact lenses are created equal! 👁️

Take a look at the photos below. If you look at the side-angle shot, you'll see that these custom scleral lenses have a unique "vault" or depth to them.

Standard soft contacts sit directly on the sensitive cornea. But for patients with conditions like Keratoconus, high astigmatism, or Severe Dry Eye, standard lenses simply don't work and can be very uncomfortable.

That's where specialty lenses come in! Scleral lenses are custom-designed to arch over the cornea, resting gently on the white part of your eye. This creates a tiny chamber of soothing saline solution that bathes your eye all day long, providing immense dry eye relief and creating a perfectly smooth surface for crisp, clear vision. 💧

If you've ever been told you are "hard to fit" for contacts, don't give up hope. We just launched a brand-new page on our website detailing all the ways our specialty contact lens experts can help!
